Flight and Flying [Tuesday, June 2, 4th period]

[sith_happened]

When the students entered the flight shed (thankfully no longer smelling of bleach), they would notice a sequence of lights spread across the ceiling.

"Meet Drol," Anakin said, waving his hand. "The god of the moon of Iego, who brings destruction to all those who attempt to leave." He snorted. "In reality, Drol is a system of laser emitters programmed to track onto a ship as it hits orbit and blow it out of the sky. That same technology was later used to exterminate entire planets. We'll get to in a few classes. For today, you will be piloting a G9 Rigger freighter, which is neither sexy nor particularly speedy, but it's your first time flying in space, so you need something that can take a little beating up."

He flashed them a tiny smile. "For you beginners, you will only have to navigate around the asteroids in Iego's atmosphere. People with a little more experience will face off against Drol. Figure out how to disable the system without exploding, please."

He clasped his hands together in front of him. "Begin."

No way was Tahiri going to ruin her good mood from her successful asteroid run by attempting to disable Drol, since she was about 99 percent certain that way lay flamey death in a billion microscopic pieces if she tried it. (The other 1 percent, for the record, involved going EV and then ignominious death by slamming into a chunk of debris.)

So once she got her boots off she just hung out near the sim, watching everybody else go through their runs and just grinning. A lot.
